The I in Team

[secritcrush]

For one of my projects the PM is trying to organize an end project luncheon but unfortunately it's currently scheduled for the Thursday of the week before I go on vacation. Oh and it's going to be at a place that is 45 minutes from my office, so basically the entire afternoon is pretty much shot

Propose an alternate date. Sit back and watch the fireworks.

Or tell them what they want to hear, and then plead too busy last minute and blow them off. (But I am avoidant like that.)

Meanwhile, I happened to find this and had to share:

I feel for you. I really do.

Love the T-shirt. The PM tried one last effort to convince me and I told them that I'd already said no and and if I said yes it would just be a lie. They ended up moving the date. (Which I am actually happy about as I did want to go, but not so much that I'd go off on holiday with things undone--I hate it when people do that to me.)

So glad that the date got moved and that you can go. It is so not cool when people do that.

The shirt is pretty neat.... (And let me say how much I hate that whole "no I in team" bull-scat....)

Use a robot to attend virtually. Order a plate of bolts and nuts.

If I had a robot, the robot would be at my desk working while I ate expensive food and drank champagne.
